AS+P Architects

Mark Asher, AIA, NCARB, a graduate of Virginia Tech University, founded Asher Associates Architects in 1993 with the designs of several Yacht Clubs in southern New Jersey. He had spent summers as a youngster sailing up and down the Jersey coast, developing a familiarity with and passion for the vernacular styles of the coastal towns. Before long, Mark had built a strong practice specializing in coastal residences.
The firm continued to grow, gaining both clients and staff drawn to his work. In 2018 Deborah Slaunwhite joined Mark as Partner. Her design aesthetic helped broaden the firm’s vocabulary to include more contemporary elements. With the addition of Laura Glantz as Partner in 2022, the firm now operates as Asher Slaunwhite + Partners.
A S + P is well positioned for the future. Along with a strong management team, the Partners oversee a studio of talented architects and designers, a portfolio heirloom homes, and generations of clients who feel like family.
The attention to detail, commitment to clients, and emphasis on quality evident in Mark’s earliest projects are hallmarks of hundreds of ‘Asher Houses’ that grace the streets, bays, and beach fronts along the New Jersey coast, in the Philadelphia area and beyond.
